Like all King Ferry-Sherwood games, it was a closely fought battle, The lead seesawed back and forth during the entire contest, and Sherwood was barely able to come out on top with the winning two points margin. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SHERWOOD 34 - WEEDSPORT 23 Hail to the Champs! In the most important, and most exciting game of the entire season Sherwood wrested the crown from the Weedsport quintet. It was one of the most thrilling championship games in the C.C.P.H.S.A.A. records. Francis McGarry and Charley Hickey paced the champs with 14 and ll points respectively. The Sherwood System was working in excellent style and the maroon and white clad warriors soon had the title of '41 Champs added to their laurels. AWARDS When the Citizen Advertiser County All - Star list was published, names of Sherwood players lead all of the rest. Both Francis McGarry and Charlie Hickey, were named on the first team and Tom Powers landed a spot on the second team-- Tom Costello and Clair Britt were both given honorable mention. To ring down the curtain on a wonderful basketball season, a banquet was held at the Union Springs High School. Coaches,players, and fans were all pres- ent, to witness the final scenes of the 1940-1941 basketball year. The Sherwood- team was awarded a beautiful trophy, in recognition of their winning the county- championship. The highlight of the evening was a game between the coaches, and the all-star teams. Both Sherwood's Coach, and her All-Stars proved capable of their positions, and played fine ball. In honor of the Vars1ty's outstanding record the Student Council presented each of the boys, with a fine white sweater, that will always signify, to every- one, their year of triumph. Yes, Sherwood can truly be proud of this year's ball team. we can, also, look forward to another exciting round of basketball next year, when the plucky, hard-fighting Junior Varsity moves up to make themselves known,to carry on Sher- wood's record. . - --------- Charles Hurlbut, Manager
